Even though I hate to say it, if the crab migration has started I won't care much for that. There are so many excellent fish dinners there I could live without the lobster. To quote MickeyNYC my FOMO has turned to JOMO over the years, so not being with the crowd won't bug me. We rarely go out at night unless we are meeting someone or going to there room or pool for drinks, but that's very occasional. I guess the last hang up besides the crabs is the weather thing. Usually by April I don't need a getaway anymore, although this last spring was brutal. We can't afford to go twice yet, not the money or the time off. The money we save going offseason would pay for another set of flights for a second trip for maybe a week in Fed, hmmm. This is a tougher decision than I thought.

I'm thinking of giving up my April next year because 1) Alot less people, so night activities are shutting down (like the Sat night Seastar show shut down last April, even though Easter was late this year). 2) Lobster season is shut down. My philosophy is to stay out of the worst of the Buffalo weather, so I'll probably just make the Feb trip longer.
